I have had the pleasure of studying with Davide Valenti for almost six years, and I can say with all honesty that he is one of the most incredible professors you will ever have. Though currently a senior at Mountain Pointe High School, I have been able to earn college credits through Scottsdale Community College through credit by examination, a unique opportunity that he alone has been able to provide. So, why would his teaching allow me to truly be productive, get a jumpstart on my future? What does he have to offer? He brings a unique appreciation for culture, a genuine love for language, a real interest in the world of grammar. He brings the motivation needed to fully invest himself in the student, caring and embodying such patience, while also exploring language, exposing its complexities for what they truly offer: beauty. Taking full advantage of the exceptional teaching techniques of Davide, I have been privileged enough to delve into great works of literature, plunge into challenging grammatical exercises, and truly understand Italy—its history, its culture, its people. Harnessing his zeal and his knowledge to create a gripping curriculum engulfed by an inviting learning environment, accompanied by a touch of professionalism, Davide will allow your language skills to flourish and your understanding of culture to grow. He will allow you to know, truly believe that you are capable of uttering such beauty. He will change your perspective on learning languages, just as he has mine.
